The employment relationship is the professional link between employer and employees. Ideally, this relationship is based on mutual respect. Employees need to clearly understand what is expected of them to perform well. Employers must maintain and encourage healthy rapport with and among employees to promote efficiency in the workplace. Employers must delegate work in an organized and respectful way to maintain morale and foster the overall success of the organization.

Employment Relationships are Based on Trust

The best employment relationships occur when employees are placed in positions that maximize their skills and talents. When everyone is doing what they love to do best, happy employment relationships occur. When people are happy, they are more apt to function harmoniously as a team. Teamwork necessitates that the employer and employees trust and respect each other. The success of a business hinges on mutual cooperation. Discord in employment relationships causes profits to lag. An employee who is unhappy at work will delay work and achieve less; and an employer who is disgruntled with an employee will have a tendency to be overly fault-finding, according to Business Incentives. "Trust influences the bottom line," according to The Memphis Journal.

Employment Relationships are Nurtured by Positive Communication

Employers need to promote positive communication with and among coworkers so they may better understand each others' needs, as well as the needs of the employer. In this way, workers may perform their individual tasks with the understanding of how their work relates to others and what others need and expect from them. Employment relationships are enhanced when employees understand the importance of their individual work and its impact on the whole organization. "Healthy relations among employees goes a long way in motivating the employees and increasing confidence and morale," according to ManagementStudyGuide.com.

Delegating Contributes to the Organization of Work

Mutual trust, the foundation of all employment relationships, is important for the proper delegation of work. Employers must trust their employees to handle crucial tasks in tandem with others. Employers need to clearly define employees' roles and responsibilities. Employees must have faith in their employer and each other in order to perform well as a team. A positive team spirit can unify and expedite organized labor, which ultimately increases productivity and profits.

Organized Work

Positive employment relationships occur when employees feel appreciated and understand exactly what is expected of them by the employer. By defining where one person's duty ends and another's begins, boundaries are established and a division of labor can occur. The organization of work depends on the division of labor. The division of labor is contingent upon mutual trust and respect, the foundation of positive employment relationships.

About the Author

I love to write! I am a dedicated writer who writes every single morning. I enjoy journalism, poetry, short-stories, and have several book ideas that I am currently working on. I feel that I best express myself in writing, and am most at "home" at my desk. I have published numerous poems with The International Library of Poetry since 1999. Many of my poems have also been made into audio CDs with The Library of Sound, an affliate of TILP. I have published poetry with Famouspoets.com out of Oregon. I am a photographer and an illustrator and would like to incorporate both photos and illustrations with my work when appropriate. I enjoy these mediums as there is always so much more to learn. I feel that when I write "my thoughts are made known to me" and I can better understand and interpret my world. I think my qwest in my writing of any kind is to uncover the spiritual truth beyond appearances. I would be happy to do writing of any kind, articles, poetry, stories, commentaries.
